28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later vs. Other Zombie Movies

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2008)

I must say I am a big fan of most zombie, "living dead", and undead movies; some of my favorites include Shaun of the Dead & the Resident Evil series, but I particularly like 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later for their adaptation of zombies. I really liked the idea of the "zombie virus" being more of an insanity virus verses a "living dead virus". It honestly seemed a lot more believable than some people dying and coming back to life.
Of the two "28 _____ later" movies, I prefer 28 Days Later. Simply because it is less of a popcorn movie, and not constantly gory. I mean, it does definitely have its moments of bloodiness; but it wasn't one person being killed off after another. 28 Weeks Later was interesting as well, but it was one of those movies where you just sat there and wondered, "Why?" Why would you put hundreds of people in small rooms during a zombie virus breakout?
